Platelet-Rich Plasma For Hair Loss
November 8, 2019
The current strategies for hair restoration recommend medications such as minoxidil and finasteride which can have unintended and unpleasant side effects. Other strategies include hair transplantation.
The most common cause of hair loss is Androgenic Alopecia or male pattern baldness. This accounts for 96% of hair loss in men and is usually genetic. Androgenic Alopecia is also the most common cause in women where it produces diffuse thinning.
Hormone fluctuations, caused by conditions such as thyroid disorders, pregnancy, autoimmune disease, nutritional deficits, such as iron deficiency, and traction alopecia which is too tight ponytails or braids, along with certain medications can all add to hair loss. Hair loss risk factors include too little iron and protein, weight loss or weight gain, smoking, certain medications, physical or emotional stress, and over-styling.

There are many studies showing that PRP for hair restoration works. These studies show that the results are better if the PRP is delivered inside the scalp with small needles and a microchannel device, and if the treatment includes laser treatment and topical minoxidil for home use. All of this is included in our treatment, plus there is a sample of minoxidil, PRP for home use, and information on a home laser treatment apparatus.
